I work at G&L Choppers in Colorado Springs, CO. I built this bike in my spare time over the course of 2 years. The entire process was a learning experience for me. I would fabricate a part and then do it over and sometimes do it a third time. Some of the hand made parts I am proud of are the round electric box and caps which are nickel plated, the custom mid controls, linkeages, and pegs, and the right hand jockey shift. I also painted the bike and wired it from scratch. Both were firsts for me. I finished the bike in April 2009 and have since put roughly 4000 trouble free miles on it. This is my sweetheart. I dig the hell out of her!!! Oh, and the model is my wife, Sarah
thanks doll!!!
